Estimating levels of inbreeding using AFLP markers
In the absence of detailed pedigree records, researchers have attempted to estimate individuals' levels of inbreeding using molecular markers, generally making use of heterozygosity measures based on microsatellite markers. Here we report and validate a method for estimating an individual's inbreeding coefficient, f, using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. We use simulations to confirm that our measure scales appropriately with f when allele frequencies can be estimated from a subset of outbred individuals. We also present an approach for obtaining satisfactory estimates even in the absence of an independent set of known outbred individuals from which to estimate allele frequencies. We then test our method against empirical data from 179 wild and captive-bred old-field mice, Peromyscus polionotus subgriseus, comprising pedigree-based estimates of f, along with genetic data from 94 AFLP markers and 12 microsatellites. Inbreeding estimates based on both AFLP and microsatellite markers were found to correlate strongly with pedigree-based inbreeding coefficients. Owing to their ease of amplification in any species, AFLP markers may prove to be a valuable new tool for estimating f in natural populations and for examining correlations between heterozygosity and fitness.Heredity advance online publication, 7 November 2007; doi:10.1038/sj.hdy.6801075.

The Original Bulldog Club ->> The Bulldog Club of Milan ->>To promote and encourage the Breeding of Pure Bulldogs in all of the World, but more especially In the provinces of England, to Ireland, and in Scotland, in Italy, in Lombardy and in Milan.
Honorary President, Ever and Forever, Mrs. D.N. and Mr. Les Thorpe. Bulldog Club, creato per celebrare la incredibile nascita proprio a Milano, per merito esclusivo di Tuffnuts Bulldogs, in collaborazione con il The Bulldog International Research Center e con Ocobo Show Bulldogs, di quelli che, secondo i più profondi studi mondialmente dimostrabili, risulterebbero essere i più diretti discendenti e, quindi, i legittimi eredi di Rosa, il capostipite della Razza Bulldog, con genealogia integralmente inglese, Lincolnshire, Tuffnuts Ocobo. Il Club si è formato, infatti, nel Dicembre 2004 alla nascita di Tuffnuts Snow Angel Tuffnuts, dedicata al Maggiore L.A. Jackson ed a Dr. Les Cotton, il secondo Original Pure Breed Bulldog, nato a Milano ed in Italia dopo Tully, nato nel 2000, sempre nell ' Allevamento Tuffnuts Snow Angel. Per supportare la razza e tutti coloro che possiedono un Bulldog Inglese. Cucciolate disponibli, affidamento bulldogs, problemi di salute, riproduttori disponibili, etc..Il primo Club che si pone l'obiettivo di selezionare ed allevare anche il Bulldog Originale di Razza Pura, come era fino all' inizio del 20° secolo, con una genealogia completamente inglese, discendente dai più famosi Campioni della Storia.
